I’ve said this before but Kaito, and Emperor is such a beautiful name that looks even better with his title. He should use it more instead of shortening it to Kai so often

can we fucking talk about how kai knew cinder would not be ready to accept his marriage proposal after she was crowned queen? so instead he did the most-kai-thing-possible and proposed to her with her fucking foot and instead offered her dance lessons and a promise that she would one day consider being the empress of the commonwealth, his empress? but when cinder jokes with him and says that she was expecting a ring, he immediately says that there are some nice jewelry stores on luna? god i love him and his ability to understand that cinder would not be ready and waited until she was

DECIDED TO DRAW SOME VILLAIN!NINJA TINGZ
Basically this AU is based on alternate events in which the ninja aren’t able to save each other. Most of them had the strength to stop themselves from fighting their family but once they were turned, they became a group.
Nya is technically the first one to “turn to the dark side” but was restored. Or so they thought.
She still have a small amount of dark matter so that it didn’t affect her behavior but it appeared when she eventually got stuck in her elemental form.
Sensei Wu was next to be turned and now runs the evil group as Techno Wu.
Kai was next. He had managed to retrieve the staff from Chen but no one was able to take it away from it so it slowly took over his body and mind to the point that a voice was manifested within his mind.
Lloyd is fairly simple. When Morro possessed him, they weren’t able to really separate them since it was pretty much only Jay, Cole, and Zane at that point.
Zane, similarly to Lloyd, got stuck as the Ice Emperor because the other ninja were turned and didn’t particularly care about restoring Zane.
Jay became emperor of Prime Empire after forcing his way into the game’s code. This could’ve potentially been a coping mechanism but it is uncertain. Nevertheless, he became a glitch in the world and would travel between the game world and reality to recruit new players for his game.
Sensing that it's about to be destroyed, the skull tried to corrupt Cole right before his burst and it managed to work and since it got control over an elemental, it abandoned Vangelis and made him powerless, allowing Cole to be the new Skull Sorcerer.
Also keep in mind that this is all from memory and we're aware that it doesn't make much sense at the moment 😭

Ok so I just fully read The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer and I am just so sad it’s over hahaha. I read Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress in middle school (~2013) and never picked up on reading Fairest, Winter, and Stars Above(haven’t finished this yet) but man something about reading this series as a 22 year old really reignited my love for reading again.
Like seriously I’m having trouble thinking of the words to encapsulate how I feel about this series other than extreme happiness. I loved every character and I feel like the series basically read itself I had no issue getting through it all and I found myself getting sad as I was nearing the end.
Anyways I just want to put it out there that the Lunar Chronicles series was such a fun read and I felt like I could really escape into that world and imagine myself in it
P.s. I love Thorne so much
P.p.s. I need more book recommendations :)

(mention of torture and Skybound)
Hey y'all remember that one time Jay died? No? Good. cuz he's apparently the invincible one he doesn't die. As a Jay enthusiast I'm surprised to say he survived Skybound with only Slight scaring and terrible mental mindset unlike some ninja's (Zane)
But seriously tho Jay to my knowledge has not died (not in game) once he's come'd close but never actually dies, his ass survived Naddakan alone for like however long that was, not to mention the torture and physical work he has to do, and then there was prime Empire where he ran a practical stan group of jays which now that I mentioned it, it does not get mentioned enough
can you imagine how the first interaction went??? Like omg, he would have been like completely surrounded by people asking him questions and probably also just yelling his name. I have a feeling he'd be very confused by this despite being proud that there's a group that loves him so much they played him as their avatar in the game
I feel like Jay at many times is very overlooked, but honestly if you ask me skybound was a season of destruction probably also one of the darkest seasons from back then before like the reboot I feel like if I wanted to compare skybound with another season I feel like I wouldn't personally be available to do that cuz I can't think of another season that could possibly dig a whole gave in my mind after watching it, and like the problems correlating with a lot of things and whole season there is a lot of serious topics in that season unlike a lot of the other seasons actually, and honestly that just knocked the grave further down into my mind it's not six feet underground it's 12 ft underground it's embedded in my mind in a way I can't describe
This is just honestly a rant about Jay cuz why not?? I haven't been active I get my physical activity rant on and on this account that's going to be about Jay

Kai would definitely get his wife and children flowers, but let’s focus on Cinder. I feel like he would spontaneously request for bouquets of flowers, especially peonies, while he’s working or something, and then he’d pair it with a handwritten card and surprise her with them at the perfect time. I’d make it even cuter and say it was influenced by his parents who used to do that. And he’s like “I know you’re not really into getting gifts, but I just thought…” and she’d actually adore it like crazy and it makes her feel all special inside. And then her office or work space is just filled with flowers and stuff he got her cause he’s a romantic guy with a big heart and a big wallet
Consider: they would buy each other flowers.
One day Cinder is busy working and gets tired, so she takes a break to scroll through her port. She starts looking at her photos and all the pictures of Kai. Even though he's only a few doors down the hall she gets sappy and decides to go out to buy him something.
Meanwhile Kai is stuck in a boring meeting and just wishing he could be anywhere else, so his mind wanders to his weekend plans with Cinder. They're going out for lunch and the cinema, and he recalls how excited Cinder is for the giant freak shake they're planning on ordering. Then Kai thinks, 'wow, just thinking about her made everything suck less,' so after it's done, he goes out to buy her something.
They each individually wind up at different florists; Cinder buys blue hydrangeas, he buys yellow peonies. Then they head back to the palace through the heavy foot traffic. Kai decides they should have a picnic for dinner and calls Cinder, not looking where he's going. Cinder goes to pick up his call, not looking where she's going.
They crash into each other.
In unison:
"why are you here?"
"I'm buying you flowers."
"what? I'm buying you flowers."
Of course it's hilarious, and of course they combine the bouquets into one as a centrepiece on their dining room table.

Morning Haze
Fluff without a plot Words: 2k Pairing: Cinder Linh x Kai Fandom: The Lunar Chronicles Setting: A couple years after Stars Above Warnings: None Ao3 Link <3
Cinder was having trouble keeping her eyes open. The more she read about the new regulations on Public Hover Transportation, the more her eyelids felt inclined to close and never open up again. But she read on and barely managed to understand the basic changes the company made. Each blink became tortuous enough that she threw her port across the bed and chose to read the article in her mind, eyes closed.
It wasn’t much better. She realized that it wasn’t her eyes protesting the absence of sleep, but it was her brain refusing to think.
‘This is important’ Torin had said when he sent a the article to her and Kai earlier, ‘PHT hasn’t changed their rules since it was made back when Kai’s grandfather ruled. They have made many changes unofficially since then but now they needed to make an official document on how they would behave toward those who don’t follow their protocal. Recent technology, I believe, is their stated cause. Along with security purposes.”
‘So it contains their responce to people who don’t use the Bio-Lock?” Kai asked, though he knew the answer.
“Yes, but it’s mostly focused on Lunars. They are worried about one of the unlocked Lunars manipulating and hijacking a public hover.”
Of course it’s about Lunars, Cinder remembered thinking. Ever since Garan’s invention came out into the world, every major company changed something about themselves. As Queen, she had to read each article since it regarded her subjects (and each one always gave her a headache).
She thought she’d seen the last of those papers when her reign ended but they keep popping up again. Most of them had already changed their rules when the Bio-Lock was first introduced, except for a few like PHT, but they were minor companies and she didn’t need to read them.
The articles she read before were all the same and easier to understand. But this article had her reading and re-reading each sentence so it made sense. It might be the lack of sleep and how this day would never end, but she just couldn’t read this paper.
“Are you awake, love?” Cinder's eyes flew open immediately.
Kai had been inspecting her face for who knows how long. His fingers lingered on her elbow and she wondered if she was tracing her arms. He had a habit of tracing her figure while she slept and sometimes she’d wake up to it (she usually enjoyed it).
He smiled, a question on his lips, and brought her port up to her face, “Might I ask why your port is on the ground?”
His hair was wet from his recent shower, smelling like soap. It was something about this state that she liked very much and--stars, how she loved it. He was so close to her face she could barely focus.
Cinder smiled back, “I didn’t mean to throw it that far.”
He leaned in closer very slowly. Everything is always slow with him. It both excited and irritated her. “Then why was it thrown?”
“I got tired of reading on a screen so I read in my mind.” Her voice got lower the closer he came, “But the writers of that paper are so repetitive and boring.”
Kai lowered the port on her lap and gradually dragged his fingers across her stomach to rest on her waist. His other hand moved up from her elbow, up her arm, shoulder, collarbone, cheek, then dropped parallel to his other hand. All the while he kept coming closer and closer until he was teasing her with his lips.
Cinder’s heart did circus acts in her chest. Her tiredness miraculously vanished and her eyes could only focus on his perfect, beautiful lips. Lips that have tasted hers more times than her cyborg brain could count. Lips that could sway crowds and speak sweet nothings in her ears. Lips that she has met with her own almost every day. Lips that she would rather drink sewage water than live without.
Kai crept on top of her, taking his time while pretending to not notice the way he was driving her crazy. Cinder wanted to grab and kiss him but she (miraculously) forced herself to be patient.
“What were you reading?” he murmured softly, heading towards her neck.
“You know. The PHT article.” She said, careful to not let her words tremble.
“What part?”
“Uh,” she summoned the article back, “Note 37.”
“Mmm,” Kai’s nose grazed her cheek, then jaw, “The part about Lunars?”
“All of them are about Lunars. But yes.”
She could feel his smile on her skin, “Would you mind reading it to me?”
She sighed, “Note 37: Lunar citizens who do not observe the laws on-,” he finally kissed her neck, “using new technology, specifically the” another kiss, “Bioelectricity Lock-” kiss, “will be asked” kiss, “to leave the public hover-” kiss, “and to not” kiss, “access public transportation-” kiss going upwards, “until they install-” kiss on her jaw, “the lock and show-” kiss on her cheek, “proven records” kiss on the corner of her lips, “of the necessary procedure.”
“Force will be used if someone refuses to leave the public hover, then the hover will trigger an alarm that will notify the nearest Police Station,” he added just as he reached her lips. Still smiling, he tried to pull away but Cinder grabbed his shirt and kissed him.
She kissed him hurriedly, unlike his careful, cautious touches. She was impatient and hasty, digging her fingers in his hair.
They kissed until Kai pulled away with a large grin on his face. Then, he rolled off of her but still held her waist, and dug his face in her neck. He didn’t do anything, just rested there while they caught their breath.
He pulled Cinder closer until she was facing him and pecked her cheek and went up to her lips then her temple. Just like magic, her drowsiness returned and she huddled closer, feeling safe and relaxed in his arms. Not too long after, she fell into a much needed sleep.
~
Kai watched his wife’s body rise and fall. Cinder slept peacefully and deeply. She usually woke up before him (probably due to her internal alarm) and never slept enough.
Recently, Kai had been making sure she had. He would drag himself to bed earlier than usual and drag Cinder along with him.
Proven just last night, this method works.
In the mornings, he would do anything possible to keep her from waking up. If she woke up, he would convince her to not get out of bed yet via whispers in her ear. That either relaxed her or tensed her. It was a 50/50 shot.
This morning, there was no need for whispers or hugs. She slept for such a long time that it was bordering on ‘oversleeping’.
Now, Kai had to wake her up before someone would come looking for them.
He started to stroke her hair, smoothing the fly-aways and curling strands on his finger. Cinder slept facing Kai, her lips upturned just a tiny bit as if she were having a good dream. He wished she was.
He loved her hair, he loved touching it, he loved combing it, he loved pulling it, he loved styling it, he loved everything about it. More he loved her skin, face, lips, eyes, hands, legs, feet, nose, etc. He loved everything about her.
Cinder began to wake, her face twitching slightly. She opened her beautiful brown eyes, covered in a morning haze. She smiled when she saw Kai staring at her. Her lips were touched by magic. She looked ethereal in this sun, absolutely wonderful. He couldn’t believe that she was his, forever tied together, even now after their marriage. Though, it didn’t feel like it would go away in an instant anymore. Now, they could their time loving each other,
“Good morning, my love.” He murmured, kissing her forehead.
Still smiling, she stretched her arms out and looped them around his neck, “Good morning.” She yawned and shut her eyes again.
Kai pulled her closer so her head could rest on his chest. She sighed deeply and stilled for so long that he began to wonder if she fell asleep again.
Instead, she spoke, “I slept a full six hours. My system is telling me to keep it up to be healthy,” he could feel her face scrunch up, “I can’t remember the last time I did that.”
“How was it?”
“Very nice.” Her fingers slowly traced the length of the back of his neck, occasionally curling around strands of his hair, “I dreamt.”
“Oh really?” he asked.
“Yes. About us,” she smiled then with her eyes still closed.
“A good dream I hope,” it was more of a question. Sometimes, more often at the start of their relationship, she would whimper and twitch in her sleep. Sometimes she woke up in sweat and sobs. It hurt Kai to see her get hurt even by her own mind. He would hold her and kiss and remind her that he was here. That he would take care of her and love her until he can no longer breathe. His deepest confessions of love for her were admitted while she was unconscious and hurting. He’s revealed many of them since their wedding though.
“Yes. A very good dream.” She whispered.
“About...?”
Cinder opened her eyes, “Spending our day together. But we weren’t rulers of a country. We were normal and maybe the only people in the world,” she paused, frowning, “I don’t remember anyone else.”
“What did we do?”
“Mmh, kiss, talk, eat, talk, kiss, kiss, and more kissing,” she leaned in as if she was going to kiss his neck. Stars, he hoped so, “I liked that part.”
“I’m sure you did. I’m a good kisser, even in your dreams,” he smirked.
“How would you know? You’re not in them.”
“Intuition, my love.”
She humphed, “You’re just cocky.”
“If I’m ‘just cocky’, then why do you like it so much?” If only she could blush.
Her fingers froze in his hair. She pulled slightly back so she could see him and made a failed attempt at an annoyed face. It was very endearing.
“Because you’re my husband. I don’t think we would be married if I didn’t like it.”
“So you married me for my kissing skills?”
She rolled her eyes, “Yes, Kai.”
“Wowwww Cinder, I didn’t know I married someone so superficial,” he teased.
“Pay more attention.”
“I didn't know you only liked my kisses!” he exaggerated as she slowly pulled him closer, hands still in his hair.
“Among other things,” Cinder muttered while slightly biting her lip. He couldn’t help but stare at the nibble wanting to do that himself. This habit of hers was something he loved since the very day he met her. More often than not she didn’t realize she was doing it but when she did notice she would use it to tease him. And it drove him crazy every single time.
He wondered if she was doing it on purpose right now, in fact.
He pondered just grabbing her and kissing her or playing the waiting game. Meanwhile, her fingers, her beautiful miracle-working fingers, provoked something inside him. The need to kiss her (anywhere, everywhere) grew with the twist or pull of his hair, and when they swirled around his bare neck.
He stared at her as she reached his chest and then up his shirt. She leaned towards him, her hand in his hair tightening and digging itself deeper. Her mouth touched his neck.
Cinder kissed him gently, while he held her waist and brought her as close as he possibly could. He sighed pleasantly.
This was one of Kai’s favorite parts of married life. Waking up holding her every morning, kissing her temple, watching her sleep (if he was lucky enough to wake up before her). He loved it. It was peaceful and relaxing. Full of admiration and coziness. He felt like they were regular people here, waking up in the same bed as regular couples do. Like her dream. He never thought of meetings or the upcoming events of that day in these moments. Only Cinder. But she was the one who always brought it up.
As if on cue, she pulled away from him, her brow furrowed.
“What’s up?” he asked in a lazy tone.
She sighed, “Ugh. We have a meeting on the PHT article today and I can’t remember anything.” Sadly, she pulled her hand away from his chest. What a drag. He liked the feeling.
“Neither can I. But it seems you have the advantage, my love.” He twirled a lock of her hair, “Unlike our unremarkable brains that have to memorize, you get to pull it up on will.”
Cinder rolled her eyes, “Stop complaining."
"What? I was simply noting how awesome my wife's brain is."
"You're so corny." She pushed him off of her and rolled off the bed.
"Yes, but you secretly love it." He sat up, "Admit it."
She walked over to the foot of the bed, "It wouldn't be much of a secret if I did." Then she disappeared inside their giant bathroom to get ready for the day.
Kai plumped back down with a large smile on his face. Good stars, how did he end up here, with her? How did he land someone so perfect? Yes, they had their arguments. Yes, they annoyed each other sometimes. But their relationship felt like a gift from the universe itself. In a different reality, he would have been married to Levana, or some other girl from a good family without even ever meeting Cinder. He could have died without ever knowing her. But he did meet her at the stall that day and he did fall in love with her. She fell in love back. The situation was and is perfect.
As the morning haze painted his features, he contemplated his life and future with Cinder. He was excited about more mornings and late afternoons with her. To convince her to go to sleep and to wake her up. To kiss her every day to their heart's content. They had time, plenty of time, and he planned to not waste any of it.
If only this morning haze lasted forever.
A/N: I'm backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk (no promises)

• kai loves to place his hand on cinders waist and cinder loves the feel of his body against her while in bed

• sleepy kai is cinders favorite but thinks he is hot as hell when he is dressed in traditional eastern commonwealth clothes
• they say ‘i love you’ and kiss each other until they are breathless often
• years down the line, their love is still as strong as when they first met
• whenever one of them has to leave the palace, the bed always feels empty without them in it
